That grill is a little off putting, especially the 'blacked' out version on the Z71. The side profile is nice and the rear looks good but both this and the Expedition are starting to look an awfully lot alike. I think I like the looks of my 2015 Tahoe a little better but they did fix the biggest problem with the last gen by moving to an IRS. The high load floor of the last gen is a pain in the butt and the interior room doesn't nearly match what you would expect from the exterior dimensions.

As for the interior, it looks like an upgrade for sure, much better than the last generation. I will say this for the last gen's interior, it's durable. I imagine making an interior durable and plush is no small feat, hopefully they accomplished that. And maybe I'm old fashioned but I really like the column shifter on mine. Not sure I'd take to this new slide/push button method too well.

My only complaint is the cost of all these full size SUVs. It's getting a little crazy. If they up the cost by a couple grand, you could max a Tahoe out up to nearly 80K!

I know that interior's first purpose is to be utilitarian and that I am not looking at a Caddy (however little that might mean these days) but DAMN those huge buttons look like children's toys and everything looks so chintzy. The Expedition doesn't fare well in this regard either, a bit disappointing that people looking for design and quality materials in this segment have to go straight to the luxury showroom.
